How about Ray Parlour's debut up at Anfield? Circa 1992. Some performance from the boy Parlour, he OWNED Anfield that day!

When we first saw Reyes we thought a Legend is being born

Instead it was a cry baby

Who in your opinion has made the greatest debut ever in the Red and White Shirt either coming on a sub or playing a full part?

ok granted Ian Wright made a impressive start Scoring against Liecester city and the following game banging a Hat-trick against Southampton!

Even Glenn Helder looked a good thing on a debut against Nottingham forest when he made Stuart Pearce look average

but my personal opinion
is That Paddy Vieira made the best debut any Arsenal player has made, he came of the bench turned the game on the head, just looking how much Ian wrights game changed in that game showed this Kid was on to a winner ok ok it was Sheffield Wednesday but lets be fair back then Wednesday always proved a tricky game even though we won most not many where a great margin bar this one and the 7-1 scoreline which I was ballboy for there is video footage of me as a ball in that game on youtube by the way I will dig it out later lol

My personal favourite is Paul Davis away to the **** in 1980, it was at easter in the middle of FA cup and cup winners cup semis against Liverpool and Juventus and we played a mostly reserve team back in the days when that was never really done whatever the comp. Anyhoo, our mostly reserve team proceeded to play the scum, including Hoddle, Ardiles and whoever else made up their first team at the time, off the park and Paul Davis, making his first team debut was fuckin sensational, bossed the midfield against the scum and we won 2-1. I was standing in the middle of the Paxton that day, amongst loads of ****. Had to keep on the quiet side but could'nt hide a big grin at the end A month later, in an Ostend hotel room, the night before the cup winners cup final some fucker in the next door room kept me awake for the three or fours hours I had there singing some song he'd made up about it. I know it started with "we beat spurs with six reserves" but can't remember the rest or the tune, appy days

Ade's debut goal against Birmingham wasn't a bad start for him

[Justin-the-Gooner]

I love that Reyes goal. Hit from all of 30 yards, and it just went in a straight line to the top corner. It was still rising when it hit the back of the net. What a strike.

Reyes made his debut as a sub vs Man city

[Chippy]

I am really going to show my age now, and not sure if it is greatest ever but Graham Rix against Leicester in 77. I thing we all knew a leg end was born.

Might b wrong but im sure Pascal Cygan's full home debut was a 3-1 victory over Sunderland - he looked blinding! Just shows debuts mean fuck all in the long run!!!!
